Fritz Speakers
Lots of good reviews and comments here about Fritz speakers. I spoke to Fritz a few times about 5-6 years ago when last looking for new speakers, but went in a different direction. I find myself in the market once more, re-considering Fritz, and focused on the Carreras right now but interested in his entire line.
In particular, I'm wondering if anyone can comment on their low-level listening qualities. That's how I spend a lot of my time with my system. Speakers like the Focals do really well at lower volumes, and I'm looking for a similar experience. Interested in any comments about the BE tweeters as well. Thanks.
Typical driver to product markup is 10x, even more if the speakers are built in house. As I've said before, and even started a thread about this, it disturbs me greatly that Fritz, who sells his products for bargain prices, gets his speakers dissected here on Audiogon in ways absolutely no one would treat a Focal, B&W or Klipsch. It is embarrassing to see people nit pick his speakers, which are stellar performers and huge values, apart based on part cost. |
@erik_squires - I've got Fritz speakers too, but getting 'dissected' here on Audiogon? Almost every mention of Fritz or his speakers I've seen here or elsewhere has been very positive... |
@larsman - I think everyone has a right to objectively review his works as a finished product. It makes me sad though when people who can’t/won’t build their own speakers start looking at the value of his work as merely the sum of the parts. :) So I used the word "dissected" specifically to refer to people trying to figure out if Fritz speakers are worth it based on parts. Certainly very very few speakers are worth it based on parts, but Fritz is among the highest value. |
